Beschreibung
This book explores employees’ pursuit for meaning and purpose in the workplace. It critically analyses the impact of work on engagement, life satisfaction, and productivity, and argues sense of purpose is pivotal in the realization of a thriving and successful workplace. Given its emphasis on the mutual interfaces of engagement, satisfaction, and productivity viewed through the lens of philosophy, psychology, spirituality and economics, it is intended as a multi-disciplinarian account for the ages. Finding purpose and meaning in the workplace can transform good employees into prodigious employees, and good workplaces into great workplaces. The book proposes an evidence-based moral argument to show how individuals can experience high levels of engagement and productivity in the workplace if they find meaning and purpose in the work they are doing, and by extension, organisational success.
The book is targeted at both employees and employers, academics, practitioners, and policy makers, students and professionals alike.
